Hi Guys,
I'm new here. Just trying to gather information, as I'm designing an enclosure for a Tegu. I don't currently have a Tegu, but we plan on getting a hatchling this year from a local breeder. In the past I've had an Iguana, Chameleon, and Bearded Dragon.
I'm planning an enclosure that will fit the Tegu when full grown, and will be 8' by 3.5', with a height of 4'. It will likely have a raised platform for basking.
My question of the day is: Would you recommend using a smaller enclosure for a very young Tegu? From what I've read, they grow very fast so it seems to make sense to just start with the full size enclosure rather than changing enclosures after a few months as they grow. Are there any downsides to keeping a small Tegu in a large enclosure?
